The closer on the Mets? I AM THE BRAVES! Needless to say, I could not replace Wagner, and I could not get off the screen because it wanted me to replace Wagner. I had to restart the system. Booooo! Only real complaint so far with the game.

i had something like this happen, and when it did i think i switched the controller to cpu and the game resumed, then i switched it back to plyr 1.

edit: i wasn't in MOM though.

This has happened twice. I would go to bullpen to warm up some relievers and it would send me to the opponents bullpen. So.... I just went ahead and picked two of their pitchers to warm up. Why not get the opp. relievers tired right? Anyway, the only thing that was cool from that, was that I could see opponent's pitchers warming up in the bullpen while I was at bat.... I play as the Astros, and I was at Minute Maid when this happened.

Minor "Glitch":

Has anyone noticed that the Guess Pitch 1/6 actually has 8 distinct zones...in, out, up, down and the 4 corners...

Actually 1/4 has 8 zones as well....up, down, in, out and then the 'square corners' that actually overlap the other zones.

I don't care really, just an observation.

I just noticed my 3rd base coach (Gallego) is wearing 2 along with Tulowitzki...dunno if every third base coach has someone's number also

PS2 version

(1) Top 8, home vs. Detroit, up 3-2 through 7. Rincon strikes out first batter (1 out). Rincon gives up single. Reyes enters game. Batter hits into fielder's choice (2 out). Reyes gives up 2 run HR. Neshek enters game, strikes out battter (3 out). Reyes is charged with the loss (correct), 2 ER (correct), but *not* a blown save.

(2) The "foul ball into stands" cutscene is sometimes used when the ball doesn't actually get into the stands. This only happened twice, in Oakland, with a fairly stiff breeze blowing the ball back in play.

(3) If a pitch nearly hits a batter (would normally cause him to shuffle out of the way), but there's a check swing, the batter will not be able to swing on the next pitch about 1/3 of the time, and will do the shuffle animation as it flies by.

Not sure if this is a bug or what but I see the groundballs go right though the infielders a lot. The fielders should be putting there gloves down and field the ball but they don't a lot of times.

This even caused me to lose a game once.

This needs to be fixed.

And don't tell me I should dive for the ball. There is no need to dive in these cases.

The play by play needs a lot of improvement

Example it was the bottom of the 9th inning and lead off man strikes out and the play by play guy says thats the final out the game is over. There are still 2 outs left.

In every instance I have seen an error given to the fielder. Had it happen to a right fielder last night, ball right through him, checked the box score, error given.

This one is sort of amazing Mike. Needs a LOT of improvement?
